2014 honda accord Reviews and News

2014 Honda Accord

New For 2014

Honda raised the starting prices of the 2014 Honda Accord by $275 for the new model year. A second hybrid joins the lineup in October. Changes are minimal, including new cloth seat fabric on LX models and a standard rear-dimming mirror; V-6 models get different exhaust tips.

Vehicle Summary

The Honda Accord is one of the best-selling, most popular cars in America. It appeals to a range of customers and is available at a wide variety of price points, offering everything from a powerful V-6 engine to a fuel-sipping hybrid. It can be loaded up to near luxury levels or as a more modest base model and comes in coupe and sedan versions. The 2014 Honda Accord is not one of the most exciting cars in the market, but it excels in many user-friendliness, utility, and value for the money, which is why we named it an Automobile Magazine All-Star for 2013.

Overview

The 2014 Honda Accord offers choices, which is one of its most appealing qualities. The base 2.4-liter in-line four-cylinder engine produces 185 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque, while the top-end V-6 makes 278 hp and 252 lb-ft. There are three transmissions available depending on the model: a six-speed manual, a six-speed automatic, and a CVT. Honda already sells a plug-in Accord hybrid, and this year it is adding a second (non-plugin) hybrid variant to the portfolio.

The Accord has always scored well in our All-Stars balloting, but the V-6 coupe with the manual appeals to us as enthusiasts. We were particularly taken with it during a test drive from the factory in Ohio where the Accord is assembled. One of our editors summed things up: "The 2014 Honda Accord is, in general, very good to drive -- hence its well-earned 2013 All-Star award -- but a V-6 manual coupe is on another level. I know it's front-wheel drive, but the soul of the NSX is in there, I tell you. If you've got 500 miles to dispatch in a single shot, this is a fine way to do it."

Honda also upgraded the Accord's interior, adding richer materials, a streamlined center stack, and more comfortable seats. There is an optional navigation system, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision-warning systems. A new feature, called LaneWatch, uses a camera to enhance the driver's visibility on the right-side blind-spot. The Accord also gets a new strut-type suspension setup in front, which noticeably improves the ride character compared with the previous generation.

2014 Honda Accord EX-L V-6 Coupe - Four Seasons Wrap-Up

With its most recent redesign, the Honda Accord went from blandly competent to truly impressive, earning an AUTOMOBILE All-Star award in the process. And when we gathered the latest crop of midsize sedans, the Accord came out on top. Based on all the accolades, we decided that the new Accord had earned itself a long-term stay with us.

Pent-up demand from the recession years appears to be pretty well sated, but automakers were able to keep sales on the boil in August with a flurry of sales and incentives. Moderating gas prices gave trucks and SUVs an additional boost. Overall, the month of August—which this year included all of Labor Day weekend—closed out a strong summer, with an annualized sales rate of over 17 million units.

The Honda Accord has managed to beat the Toyota Camry in the monthly sales race. Last month, Honda sold 51,075 Accords, compared to 44,043 Camrys. That brings the Honda’s year-to-date tally to 271,426, which is still behind the Camry and its total of 306,471 units.

The 2015 Honda Accord arrives in the new model year with more equipment, which means prices for the coupe and sedan have increased slightly. A 2015 Honda Accord LX sedan with a manual transmission now starts at $22,895 with destination, up $150 versus last year's base model price; the cheapest 2015 Honda Accord Coupe is an LX-S with a manual transmission, at $24,565; and the 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid sees its sticker rise $150 to $30,095.
